Good goal. People keep saying he should start when he gets a goal off the bench, but keeps being more effective when he’s a sub

"Martial scores with a bad shot." I'm sorry but that's BS Jose
Poor lad. First we think he doesn't smile enough. Now we want him to never talk again.Yeah I know a number of afro-french peeps, it's more his tone and control of his voice, it sounds goofy.
Pogba in comparison has more control over his speech, Drogba too for example. Then again they spent a number of years in England, and I think Martial has only recently learnt English.
Jose can never praise Martial properly - it's not so difficult to see.
Should be an automatic starter. Everyone has poor games now and then, and it's fine to sub him off when he does like last week, but he should start on the left every time. Rashford should start on the right every time too. Feck Mkhitaryan/Mata, they aren't good enough and don't do enough week by week. Get our best and most consistent performers on the pitch from the start and we'll be better for it.
Actually more clinical than Lukaku. Him, Rash and Lukaku should be rotated in the 352.
Apparently he's great with the ball at his feet but his movement off the ball is shit. I vividly remember last season, Rashford scoring a similar goal after Ibra jumped for a header and the ball was flicked on (by the defender I think) behind the defence with Rashford reacting fastest and burying the chance. And all the caf experts were saying how Martial would never score a goal like this because he doesn't anticipate such situations and doesn't make moves.
Tell me again how that works please.
Tell me again how that works please.
The things the caf thinks about after a game...
Did he say that? He really finds it hard to praise him doesn't he.
Great impact after not being at his best last couple games (and particularly poor against Huddersfield).
I will reiterate that he and Rashford are in our best XI.

Did Jose say that?
Can anyone hear what Lukaku said to him in this ?
Yep. He also suggested people who think he should be starting are not real supporters. Not even joking
I am not seeing what some of you guys are reporting he's said but wow, now I think it becomes a bit clearer that it goes beyond just performances on the training ground between Jose and Martial, there is a legitimate dislike. After such an important goal, that has to be gutting.
Football coverage without commentary? Where does this godlike platform exist, and how can I get it?
He's a strange man at times
He was saying something along the line of "putin" which is a swear word in French.
I think it was something like pumping each other. In English people it would come out like " feck yeah".
Keeps up his ridiculous stats, great goal.
Link for that please?
Also the full comment was that Martial scored with a bad shot, but sometimes a bad shot can be a beautiful one.
Yes but he also said that “sometimes bad can be beautiful”
Add the whole quote in future.
His off the ball running helped create that goal, which is usually one of his weaknesses. Reckon Mourinho will be quite pleased with that aspect.
I thought he miskicked it, too. No big deal. If he had connected with it properly I think the keeper might have saved it.
Nothing wrong with the comment then.
That doesn't further the "Jose hates Martial" narrative, though, that some are so fond of.
Ofcourse it isn't, people here like to get their knickers in twist.
I'm still waiting for the @SteveW providing me a full quote on that post or else he's getting a warning and threadban for wilfully stirring shit up.
It was unnecessary. Dont remember him saying that when Rashford bounced one it like that a few weeks. No interest in getting wrapped up in this stuff today anyway. We won
Then why only post half of the quote ffs.
Cop on
Why the need to try spin such a negative narrative? Just back the manager ffs...
It is funny and quite silly because if Mourinho doesn’t like someone then he doesn’t play them. Look at what he did with BFS.
Yes, but that quote in itself is absurd because he said something along the lines of that players gave their all and then Martial came and scored from a bad shot. And then he covered that up with that bad shot beautiful thing. Point is he can never praise Martial clearly.
Lastly, IT WAS NOT a bad shot - he didn't connect well but he was placing it exactly there with his left foot. A bad shot is what Lingard attempted at the end.
I didn't post any quote I just confirm he said that. If people want quotes go find them. Not my job to link quotes or interviews
This seems unwise.
